The NFL Finals, known as the "American Spring Festival Gala", ended this morning in Los Angeles Beijing time, and the Los Angeles Rams staged a super reversal to win the second Super Bowl championship in team history with the 23-20 Lixcinnati Tigers.
The scene of the game can be described as a gathering of stars, NBA superstars LeBron James, Abdul-Abdul-Leonard, Leonard, Dwayne Johnson, rapper Eminem, Snoop Dogg and other big names have appeared.
There's also a familiar face for football fans, Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke, who is also the owner of Premier League giants Arsenal and NBA team Denver Nuggets.
At the championship ceremony held after the match, as the team owner, the 74-year-old Kroenke was the first to raise the Vince Lombardi Championship Trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor.
Kroenke smiled the whole time, closed his mouth, and chatted with the players. This title is not only the first championship after Kroenk bought the Rams, the Rams have reached the playoffs four times in the past 5 seasons, and finally lifted the Super Bowl this year after finishing runners-up after losing 3-13 to the New England Patriots in 2019.
More importantly, the title will bring the Rams a sky-high prize of up to £350 million. Fame and fortune, full of plates, can Kroenke not like the top of the eyebrows?!
But gun fans may have a different mood, witnessing the Rams win the championship, Arsenal fans have mixed feelings. Gun fan netizens "stormed" Kroenke's social media after the game, expressing dissatisfaction with Kroenke's continuous injection of funds into the Rams, but expressed dissatisfaction with Arsenal's strict restrictions on the signing budget.
We see a lot of similar messages:
"We Arsenal fans watched Stan Kroenke and the Rams lift the Super Bowl trophy and then we were so poor.
"Kroenke, it's time to throw money at Arsenal, the Rams have won the title."
"Klenk hurry up and throw money, Haaland and Mbappe go to Arsenal, confirm...!"
But gun fans are likely to be disappointed, the £350 million bonus is not half a cent related to Arsenal, and it is almost certain that Klenke will not inject another capital into the arsenal. In fact, Kroenke has long entrusted Arsenal to his son Josh Kroenke, and since Wenger retired in 2018, Kroenke has not been to the Emirates Stadium to watch any of Arsenal's matches.
On the other hand, is Arsenal's problem really caused by Kroenke not paying for it? I am afraid that this is not the case, the media has counted the transfer expenditure data of Premier League teams over the past 10 years. Arsenal invested €1.029 billion in signings, €446 million in selling back, and net €583 million, second only to Manchester United and Manchester City, and higher than chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Villa and other teams.
Expanding the scope to clubs across Europe, Arsenal also ranked 5th in net investment, in front of the Gunners are Manchester City and Barcelona, Greater Paris. Arsenal spends money that cannot be said to be less. Kroenke certainly had his problems, but it was inappropriate to put all the blame on him.
In fact, Arsenal's situation is similar to Manchester United's, spending a lot of money in the transfer market every year, but the price is relatively average, and there are few immediate results. From 2017 to now, Arsenal also has Lacazette (53 million), Aubameyang (64 million), Pepe (80 million), Thomas (50 million), Ben White (58 million) and other 50 million + reinforcements, how to make good use of high-priced reinforcements, is also the coaching staff need to do a good job.
